Arden Park house - backyard

The backyard was quite transformed mainly by the buidup of the dirt in the swale and the addition of a swimming pool. The half fence in the back is gone and there is a small orchard planted in that section.


This first picture is taken from the patio at the back of the house looking into the backyard. The crepe myrtle that used to be in the middle of the garden is now quite large. Dennis W said that they had pulled out a lot of trees and greenery that had kind of choked the yard. He did remember the cottonwood tree in the back corner that was such a mess.



The next picture shows the left side of the yard towards the back fence.



The next is looking back up at the house. You can see the breezeway now covered and the workshop with the storage cupboards in the back. Beyond the addition is a storage shed where the plum tree used to me. I don't remember the tree in the foreground but Dennis W said that it has saved them a lot of money on cooling.



The back of the house from behind the swimming pool. The brick planter boxes are gone. Dennis W wanted to know who had had that thick slab of concrete poured.
